"A literary effort of real consequence, a book that informs and entertains, but at the same time is pleasing to the eye and to the ear... One closes Lou Jacobs' book with the wish that it did not have to come to an end... [because] one has been to Africa with Lou and surveyed the passing scene through his amused, discerning eye."
(Edwin H. Colbert Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology)"Louis Jacobs has produced a most interesting book, which will certainly give the reader a feel for dinosaur hunting in some exotic and unusual places. Many books have been written on the collecting of dinosaurs in North America, but this book is very different, and I found it refreshing, fun, and informative."
(Richard E. Leakey, Director, Kenya Wildlife Service)"Splendid book. If you like dinosaurs, this is for you. If you enjoy reading engaging stories of life in the field, this is for you. And if you care to reflect a bit on the personal impact of the West on the developing world, and―as important―of the developing world on us, this is certainly for you. It's a most engaging read."
(David Pilbeam, Harvard University)"Original, delightfully entertaining, accurate, and stimulating... In his warm and witty style, Lou Jacobs has made a significant contribution to the demystification of science."
(Nicholas Hotton III, Research Curator, Department of Paleobiology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution)"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
